• A confident and effective team leader who enjoys developing people.
• Commercially aware and comfortable working with targets, KPIs and sales data.
• A strong communicator and relationship builder.
• Proactive, self-motivated and comfortable working independently.
• Comfortable working in a small business where priorities can change and everyone gets involved.
